Oh, hello. Seems that I did not notice the comments coming in. I only need to fix the image links, and the descriptions for the pieces are all done. Someone requested the research that some Koreans did with Gwangsanghui, so might as well post it here.

It is in Korean, and Google Translate is terrible at Korean, so beware if you don't speak Korean. Still, the images might be enough to understand.

As far as I know, Gwangsanghui is only recorded in the book 광상희지, written by 남유용, a scholar in the Joseon era. The book is in a collection of books called 뇌연집, and the king did publish the series later on, so maybe it was actually played. Who knows. 

By the way, do you want me to translate the manuscript in English and put it in the document as well?
